windows directory

[Austin]

I would like to write a program which creates the folders in specific
directory.
For example, I want to create folder in Program Files. How do I know which
is in C:\ or D:\
Is there any function to get the active path?

Thanks in advance.

On XP at least you have the environment variable "ProgramFiles".

You can fetch the path it holds through os.environ

I'm going to presume this is just an example -- under WinXP,
"Program Files" is a protected directory, only Admin accounts can modify
it.

Scan the registry for, I believe, "shell folders" -- these
entries identify things like a user's desktop folder, etc.
